La Fundación de las Américas para el Desarrollo (The Foundation of the Americas for Development, or FUDELA) is a local organisation of the A GANAR programme in Ecuador. A GANAR offers comprehensive training and technical skill development that improves young people’s chances of getting a job and earning a living. It also uses sport, in this case football, as a tool for training and motivation, and for promoting the development of values such as teamwork, discipline and effective communication.

The programme is aimed at helping vulnerable young people with no access to higher education or employment to prevent situations such as unemployment, violence, drug use and teenage pregnancy.

A GANAR consists of four phases: Sport and Work Abilities, Technical and Occupational Training, Internships, and Follow-up and Monitoring
